Heads Up, Garage Sale Aficionados!

In November a fantastic garage sale was held in the home of a flower arranging devotee. This woman had not just 1 container of a type, she had 3 or 4. She had multiple copies of flower and garden books, in excellent condition.There was a preview sale for garden club members only. Another sale will be held in the same location mid January. This lady had so much stuff much still in the original boxes, unopened. The contents of her retirement condo will be combined with the unsold items from her home. She was a compulsive shopper-good for us bargain hunters. The sale is being conducted by Whitehall Antiques of Chapel Hill. I will let you know the date of the sale. But save your Christmas money, this is a super opportunity.
